Comment: i just installed mac os x and when i boot it up i can't see my firewire hard drive. I can go into disk utility and see it in there, but when i go to mount it, it wont. I can boot back up into os 9 and see it fine. What's going on here?

Reply: (edit)the maker of the drive is acom data. They have a
driver on their web site but it is a usb 2.0 driver. I
never had to install a driver for it on os 9. If i
unplug the drive and plug it back in (usb or
firewire) it will say that the device contains no
volumes readable by os x. It asks me to initialize,
but I know not to do that. In os 9 the format of the
disk shows up as mac os extended... same as my
other two discs. I don't get it.

Reply: (edit)Your right. That is very confusing. By all standards,
you have it set up correct. OS Extended should show up on OS X.
The USB 2.0 shouldn't make a difference because it is
Firewire. Have you tried calling Apple. Do you still have tech
support?
